replied to the topic Could I get you guys' opinion on his work? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 8 months ago
I like your idea about a small one to get your fix. Its also a great way to feel out the artist, get a look at his personality, and then decide if you are going to be comfortable having him do a big piece on you. Well…let us know how it works out!

replied to the topic Please identify the font in the forum Tattoo Ideas 13 years, 8 months ago
We use it a lot, and it kind of goes on what effect you want, i.e., it looks classy. you wouldn’t want an old english or grafitti script, or it would look too thuggish. I would highly recommend the edwardian font for bible verses and poetry, or any of the fancy miami style fonts look great too. Also, i have done verses in a font called Billy…[Read more]

Sounds like this guy is a complete douch. I would catch him at the point of saying something and retaliate in front of other customers though. If you feed him some of his own medicine by letting everyone know that he is singleing youout, I’m willing to bet he apologizes and stops with the bullshit in a hurry. I would also let him know you are…[Read more]

replied to the topic I NEED a half sleeve! in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
Depending on habits/vices/recreation….I usually tell people that on average, people spend between $20 and $40 a week on themselves…if you curb self spending, and put it out of sight/out of mind, and in addition save the extras you run across (change, dollars)…then within a couple of months, you will be on your way to haveing enough money for…[Read more]

replied to the topic Ideas to fix this??? in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
OH MY GOD IT LOOKS LIKE A FIGHTING CHICKEN, LOL!!! What qualifies a good artist from a bad one, is experiance, training, word of mouth, and an extensive portfolio…..you should always see the artists work first…and the design being put on. The best bet you have is to go to a shop (after healing) and have the wings enlarged, and a second wing…[Read more]

replied to the topic Advice on my tattoo… in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 13 years, 9 months ago
I wouldn’t be thinking about even re-inking that piece…I can see holes showing through, so you should be able to go get it covered….but be ready with a good chunk of tax money! P.S., If you see the original artist, you may consider kicking them in the face.

replied to the topic dotted lines in the forum General Tattoo Discussion 13 years, 9 months ago
Just a thought….was this done at a shop or out if a house? The reason I ask…I have seen a lot of “self trained” tattooists, or “scratchers” lose the line work, because the machine wasn’t tuned like it should be. just curious…that is a good amount of loss.

LOL, there are MILLIONS of roses out there…but…I do believe imitation is a form of flattery, so he probably picked up the style from the mentor. I know that both of our apprentices imitate different style things they have seen me do. I started with bio…now I have one that does bio drawings…and I do portrait drawings, and have one that…[Read more]

I have to agree on the first one…the shadeing is a disaster, I’ve seen prison tattoo’s with better artistic eye, lol. AND…I dont want to comment on the second one…third one…cmon’ , its a frickin tribal, lol, color between the lines….the forth picture, ok, but kind of wandering on the color scheme of the bio, in my opinion, but the…[Read more]

replied to the topic new tats crack and scab in the forum Tattoo Questions and Experiences 13 years, 9 months ago
I see it like this, especially on big pieces…the scab thats forming has no flex. As it starts to seperate from the healing underskin, it cracks from the movement of the body underneath. Sometimes they can crack due to overdrying of the scab, or even because you have oversaturated the area with ointment or even in the shower, thus causing a thick…[Read more]

Congratulations! I remember how I felt the day I put on my first tattoo. If all you have done is fake skins, have they ever had you do pigs ears? Its as close as it gets, as far as blowouts and holding ink, and just like a person you can chew it up pretty bad too. Post a pic of your first, no matter how it looks…keep in mind you are in a forum…[Read more]
